Movie Review: Borat

Summary: Guy from Kazakhstan visits America and is totally ignorant of our customs.

Rating: 8 out of 10

Review: This was one funny movie. For some reason, I wasn't expecting to like this movie as much as I did. The concept of the movie is that Borat is a foreigner who is visiting America to learn the culture to better Kazakhstan. The guy who plays Borat is a comedian and did a fantastic job with his foreign character. He kept in character even when his life was in danger! Now, that's devotion.

It was very funny to watch people pushed to their limits with the idiot Borat. The movie tried to see how much weirdness people would put up with before finally breaking down and stop helping or just leave. For some reason, it seemed like the conservatives, "Go America" people, Texans, police, and religious types turned out to be the biggest jerks to Borat. It was the prostitutes, minorities, and women who were the most accommodating to the foreign visitor. Excellent movie that was far funnier than I expected. And I went in thinking it would be good.
